This game is heavily influenced by the arcade shoot 'em ups from the 1980s, but don't let that put you off. This is a slick, modern interpretation.
The game is played vertically with you flying towards the top of the screen and the numerous enemies attacking you from above. The enemies attack in waves, requiring quick reactions to dodge the bullets and zip past any missed ships.
Your choice of weapons is limited to two types (lasers and rockets), but power-ups are readily available depending on your performance. To begin with though, you are forced to make do with your basic weapons. This is an improvement on many similar games, which are far too easy to begin with.
The 1980s inspiration extends to end-of-level bosses, which get progressively harder the further you get, and there is even a storyline too.
Control of the ship is limited to the mouse, but this works well with this type of game, offering very fluid movement.
